Hi all, I’m really new with Elixir and Phoenix and I’m looking for some open sources projects with open issues for beginners.
The docs and oficial resources are great, but I would like to do something more “real”.
Do you know about any open source project looking for help?
Thanks!

Not sure about the open issues for beginners but GitHub - plausible/analytics: Open source, privacy-first web analytics. Lightweight, cookie-free Google Analytics alternative. Self-hosted or cloud. · GitHub is a real project that’s being used by a lot of people out there.

You can check out this project too: SSL MOON - SSL Monitoring and Observability of Open Networks
It’s currently in a frozen state, but I could formulate some tasks fitting for a beginner.
